During the hard-fought Republican primary, it was no secret that Newt Gingrich disdained Mitt Romney. Apparently, his feelings toward the presumptive nominee have only softened a little since then.

On "Hardball" Thursday night (Watch above), host Chris Matthews questioned Gingrich about why people who compete against Romney in elections end up personally disliking him, and Gingrich offering a piece of halfhearted praise:
"Mitt and I get along fine, we get a lot of stuff done together, and I don't particularly dislike him as a person."
